SO LOMONS' Newly Invented SPECTACLE LENSES and VOICE CONDUCTOR for Deaf Persons. From James Blundell, Esq., M.D. " I have now tried for some time the Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses, and have experienced much benefit ; they are far preferable to my vision than any other lens ; the relief is very great, in particular by candle light, End in course of use for a length of time the clearness of the transparency brings every object very distinct ; they can be fully appreciated only by those who, like myself, may stand in need of them. " JAMES BLUNDELL, M.D. " No. 1, Great George-street, 'Westminster." We, the undersigned, have been making use of the Messrs. So lemons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses ; the comfort they afford to defective vision gives them the decided preference to every other kind of lens, we agree in every point of view in the above state ment—John Elliotson, Esq., 1.R.5., Conduit-street; Thomas J. Pettigrew, Esq., F. R. S., Saville-row ; Geo. G. Sigmond, Esq., M.D., 24, Dover-street; Robert, Noble, Esq., Surgeon, 36, Albe marle-street ; W. Jones, Esq., Surgeon to the Infirmary, 15, Lower Brook-street, Grosvenor-square ; William English, Esq., Surgeon, Denmark-hill ; Thomas Griffiths, Esq., Surgeon, Ham mersmith; H. Colbourn, Esq., M.D., 28, Harleyford-plats, Ken nington ; T. Day, Surgeon, Isleworth. In placing these Testimonials before the public, the Messrs. Selomons feel desirous to state that their Voice Conductor, for deaf persons, is so small it fits into the cavity of the ear, not the least perceptible, and the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard with distinctness. These important new inventions are pa tronised by their Majesties the King and Queen of Hanover, a n d aal Highnesses the Princesse s A ugusta and Sophia, her ighness the Princess Esterhazy, th e P r i ncesses Mary and ert and his Grace the Duke of Manchester, & c . & c . t ßs h eo e rs i ea r n, It is requisite to observe, 39, Albemarle-street. L'ATRONISED BY TH n 0 IL ITY ROYAL FAMILY AND THE . HARP'S ROYAL BRITISH CERATES and LINIMENT. • These valuable medical applications, long privately known, and highly appreciated, by some of the most eminent Medical men in the metropolis, constitute, in their various modifications, rapid and effectual remedies for Gout—in some States, Rheumatic Affec tions, Lumbago, Glandular Swelling, many instances of Scrofulous Sores and Swellings, Tumours, Relaxed Sore Throats, Hooping Cough, Croup, Swelled Facc or Gums, Nervous Headache, some cases of Deafness,External Inflammation—in all its shapes, Boils, Ul cerated and other Wou n d s , S pra i ns, C ramp, Bruises, Burns Scalds, Erysipelas, Venomous Sting s , It c h, Ri ngworm, Scaldhead,' Gro cer? Itch, Chilblains, Bunions, Corns, Tender Feet, Paralysis of a local character, and Tic-douloureux. At no class of society is ex empt from the liability to some or other of these attacks, so to every rank must access to such a powerful series of simple, but effectual, remedies be highly desirable. The series consist of a Liniment, with the Plain, and four com binations of Cerates :—Namely, No. Plain ; No. 2, Campho rated ; No. 3, E mo lli ent ; No. 4, Basalmie ; and No. 5, Sulphu rated ; severally applicable to the cure of the above diseases and injuries, in the manner clearly laid down in the full printed direc tions which accompany each packet. The Proprietors give their solemn assurance, that there is not a fact stated with respect to the powers of these substances, which is cot fully established in every class of cases, in the private practice of medical men of great respectability in the metropolis and else where; and that each of the preparations, although most effectual in its remedial character, is in the highest degree innocent in its entire composition ; and may, consequently, be used with perfect safety. , The Royal B r iti s h C erates are ma d e up , i n a ll their mo difi cat i ons , in Bees of fou r s i zes , at 130., 2s. 9d., 4 5 . 6 d. , and Ils. each ; and the Liniment i n B ottles of throe s i zes, w i t h g round-gl ass s t oppers , at 2s. 9d., 4 s . 6d. and I Is. each; Stamps in all cases included.

On Tuesday, soon after mid-day, the inhabitants of Kennington-la ne and its vicinity, were greatly excited by a report that an independent gentleman of the same of Seymour, aged 76, residing at No. 19, Kennington-lane, had been stabbed by his daughter, who resides with him. It appeared that, from some cause or other, a contention arose between the parties, when the daughter, in a fit of passion, made a stab at the left side of her father, with a table-knife, which entered the top of the left arm and passed compl e t e l y th roug h, causing a dreadful wound, from which the blood flowed copiously. Professional assistance having bee n ca ll e d i n , the medical gentlemen gave it as their opinion that great danger existed, owing to the ad vanced age of the sufferer, and the quantity of blood lost. He now lies at his residence in a very precarious condition. The daughter remains in the house under the charge of two policemen, the father refusing to make a formal charge against her. wt..% • ;, -are r i W P ) . )1' • c o * - ( 11111 ; p VAZOW • -4„,b • tt i O `mL L r fht • se. ," c„, O ,143_ • %,5 „ • "4 j ' CO' ) - • y„, ,41. • . , • • er"" 0 7,fif" -111 ' -9 ' i• , ,„„ • . 41) .. b V un 2 / 4 U V W" .1) 10/A 4 irr - e -71 • I - 0- 1 TS 111 If - 171 cc rrl IRELAND.

PRECURSOR SOCIETY -NEW CONSTITUTION. - --• A meeting of the Precursor Society was held this day a t the Corn Exchange, for the purpose of adopting a new con stitution for the Society, to meet the views of the moderate Liberals. THOS. HOLMES, Esq., of Castle French, was called to the chair. Mr. PURCELL, after some observations, read a letter from the O'Connor Don, requesting to be proposed a member of the Society, which was received with loud cheers. He then moved for his admission. Mr. O'CONNELL—I have great pleasure in seconding the motion. The Chronicle and some other of the Ministerial Papers, attempted to depreciate the Precursor Society, and talked of several Irish Members not having joined it. They wronged some of them, and as for the others we force none, and refuse none. This, however, I am convinced of that ninety-nine out of a hundred of the liberal electors will join our body ; and whether their excellent Representatives will follow their example or not I cannot say, but we sl all see. O'Connor Don was mentioned as one of the members holding back from us, and his answer to the insinuation will be found in his letter.—(Cheers.) I wish the Morning Chronicle would give us some more of its paragraphs.--(Laughter.) The SECRETARY having read the minutes of the last day's proceedings, several members were proposed and admitted. Mr. O'CONNELL again rose, and said, before I proceed to the business of the day, as many of my constituents are pre sent, I wish to refer to a business I undertook at the com mencement of the last Session of Parliament, I refer to the Committee on Combination, and I do so the more readily, because this handbill refers to my exertions on this subject. [Mr. O'Connell read from a placard a statement that he had asserted at the close of the last session, that he would bring more witnesses from Dublin, Waterford, &c., against the tradesmen.] I never said, or could have said, any such thing. I would bring witnesses in favour of the tradesmen, rather than against them. My object is to convince all that are con vinceable of the tradesmen, I mean, of course, those who arc not Orangemen, for they have stronger reasons than trade regu:ations to be my enemies, and the fair Catholics who mistake my motives, that combination by violence always ends in injuring the trade. It has absolutely annihilated ship-build ing in this city. Combination within the law Ido not oppose, but highly approve. I see there is an association called the Dublin Tradesman's Association for the Protection of Labour. I like the name, and I would have joined it, and sent in my subscription, but for a regulation I see, prohibiting any from being members who are not of the regular trades. I would have all tradesmen protected, whether regular mem bers or otherwise, for why should they exclude men whose poverty would not permit them, or who do not think fit to be long to the trades body. My present intention is to call a meeting of as many of them as I can get together, and of the employers, to ascertain whether it is still necessary to proceed with the Committee. I have considerable hopes that it will not; for, since I have commenced bringing the subject before the public, outrages have ceased in Dublin. This, to be sure, is in some degree to be acconnted for by the exertions of the New Police, who have been most active in putting down the Welters. I shuddered at thinking that I would have to bring the question before the House of Commons, on reading a paragraph in a Limerick paper, in which it was stated that two men were murd ere d f or re f us i ng to j o i n the combinators, or to act with them. I su b sequent l y di scovere d that this state. ment was a lie. The next subject on which I have to touch is the new Tithe Bill. It is excee di ng l y d es i ra bl e t h at t h e pu bl ic should be acquainted with the Act in all its details. I have got considerable assistance from several gentlemen in prepar ing my exposition of the Act; as also from a book written by Mr. O'Leary, of the Munster bar, which is, however, not yet completed. The author, however, favoured me with the pe rusal of the proof-sheets, and assisted me in the further de tails. He refers particularly to the arrears, and, as far as he goes, is very valuable. lam not, however, prepared to report tosclay, and will postpone the report to the next day of meet ing. There is one thing, however, certain—that the clergy and tithe-owners cannot come at the people at all; and no tenant can be sued under the Bill. This much is quite cer tain, that the landlords, if they proceed against their tenants for their three-fourths, will no longer be in the position of landlords but of tithe proctors. After some further proceedings, Mr. O'CONNELL stated that Mr. Nugent had handed to him a list of forty-two additional Precursors from St. Andeon's parish, which was ever more patriotic than any other parish in Dublin.—(Hear, hear.) The Learned Gentleman then stated he was particularly desirous of mentioning that four Protestant gentlemen had become Precursors in Manchester, Messrs. T. R. Nelson, Edward Bond, E. T. Bradshaw, and James Hewitt, together with forty-two other names, a list of which he handed in, who were all admitted with acclamation. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman then banded in three additional pounds which he had received from the Reverend Mr. Rooney, of the parish of Cloonish near Enniskillen. Mr. O'Connell was exceedingly proud to find that the North of Ireland was beating the rest of Ireland in point of Precut. sors.—(The Hon. Gentleman then called out for " three cheers for the North," and the call was responded to with ac clamation.) The Reverend Mr. ROONEY then stated to the meeting, that the men of the North repudiated Mr. Sharman's Craw ford's views—were most anxious to become Precursors, and never would accede to the measure of pensioning the Catholic Clergy, as they admired the voluntary system alone. Mr. O'CONNELL—I may be permitted to add to what has fallen from my Reverend Friend, whom I am sure the meeting has heard with the most unmixed satisfaction, as it contained another manly declaration against the possibility of ever pen sioning the Catholic Clergy of Ireland. I will avail myself of this opportunity to state that Sharman Crawford has begun to try a new scheme. Finding that be was likely to make himself too unpopular by attacking the Catholic Bishops and Clergy, be now disclaims the imputation of having attacked that body : " I admit," he says, " that they have protested against receiving any such pension. All I said was, that Mr. O'Connell has such dominion over them, that they will do what he likes."—(Laughter.) So Sharman here makes an apology for one accusation, and he presses at the same time a still stronger accusation.— ( Hear.) I ask what accusation can be stronger against that 1 venerable body than that I could lead them thus to whatever object I please, arid that they would consent, in short, at my bidding, to that which they have admitted would lead to a sacrifice of their religion l—( Hear.) Intending thus to com pliment them, he stigmatises them worse than before—when a man is . in th e wrong, see what an arrant blockhead he becomes. There is my courteous friend Sharman for you l--( Laughter. ) Before I proceed with the new regulations of the Society, I wish to call the attention of the meeting to the reply which has been published to their address by persons styling them selves the Radicals of England. I have read that address with the utmost attenti on , an d am sure t h at an equa l d egree of attention has been given it by you all. A more jejune, a more miserable imputation, never yet came before me.— ( Hear.) Never did I witness anything that so much de grades and lessens that body in my estimation. It is utterly puling, paltry, miserable, and unmeaning. It converts what should be a great question between the countries into a mere personal attack upon myself.—( Hear.) As to attacks of this description, there is no man to whom they are more heartily welcome—l like to be attacked.—( Hear, hear, and laughter. ) I should not think myself useful if I were not attacked—aye, and the more virulently in proportion to my public utility. The reason of my reading this document so attentively was to ascertain whether there was any thing in it which would render a reply necessary. Now I have brought my mind thoroughly to the conviction that it is utterly undeserving of any reply whatever.—( Hear.) Have we not called on these men to give up their cut-throats and assassins, and revolutionary agitators—to expel them from amongst them—to disclaim such men as Oastler, who counsels them to carry arms— Stephens, who talks of revolution—or the blood-thirsty Feargus ? Have they expelled these men from amongst them ? No; they have made some gentle disclaimers of violence, but they have actually taken up the defence of these men. They say that Feargus is not one of their leaders ; but Feargus him. self gives them the lie. In his very last paper, Feargus had talked of himself as amongst their leaders.—( Hear.) Why, had not Feargus talked of the torches as " silent monitors ?" They all knew what this meant—incendiarism l—( Hear.) But Feargus had spoken high treason besides, " If the people were refused justice on the 29th, they should take it them selves on the 30th." This was direct and positive high treason. With traitors and incendiaries they would have nothing to do. --( Hear, and cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Gentlemen then proceeded to read the new-modelled Constitution of the Precursor Society, as follows : JUSTICE TO IRELAND. We deem it necessary, in order to avoid misapprehension, and to enable all persons distinctly to comprehend the objects, principles, and modes of acting of the Precursor Society. That we now declare these principles in such terms as cannot admit of mistake—and for that purpose, Rescinding all the rules, regulations, declarations of objects to be attained, and modes of proceeding to be adopted by t he NDS late DIS PSOLVED RECURSOR SOCIETY. Th at Society, in fact, Now . But as the HOUSE OF LORDS have repeatedly defeated the hopes and expectations of the people of Ireland, in their en deavour to obtain Corporate Reform, and have, on more than one occasion thrown out measures sent up to them by the Commons House of Parliament for that purpose, and as many measures of the greatest public utility to Ireland would have passed the latter House, but for the certainty of their being rejected by the Lords. And inasmuch as the state of the ELECTIVE FRANCHISE in Ireland has, by judicial miscon struction, and by contradictory decisions of Committees of the House of Commons, been reduced far below the standard of that beneficial interest which was co lemplated by that Act, and is likely further to be deteriorated by the operation of the POOR LAW. And inasmuch as a more extended measure of Reform, in respect to the Elective Franchise, is due to the people of IrelapHl, in order to put them upon an equality with the people of England and Scotland. And inasmuch as the stinted measure of redress, granted to the people of Ireland, by the Legislature in the last Session of Parliament in respect to TITIIES, fell far short of that which the Government of the country was itself willing and anxious to concede, it is not, and ought not, to be considered satisfactory. Upon all these, and other similar grounds, we deem it ne cessary to cONSTITUTE A SOCIETY, for the purpose of endea vouring by legal and constitutional means to obtain complete JUSTICE FOR IRELAND by a redress of those several grievances; and we do, therefore, constitute THE PRECURSOR SOCIETY in . the following manner : The basis and first object of the Precursor Society is entire, cordial, devoted, and unchangeable loyalty and allegiance to ■ her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, and to her heirs and successors for ever. The 2d object of the Precursor Society is to place the Par liamentary franchise and rights of voting of the British and Irish people on a footing of perfect equality, by communicat ing to the three divisions of the United Empire all that is va luable and useful in the franchises of each of such divisions. , 3d. To obtain an entire Reform of our Corporations, iden tical in every respect with the English Reform Act, and in particular to have the cities of London and Dublin included in one and the same municipal law, which can be the more easily done by reason of the great similarity in the present form of the Corporations of these cities. 4th. To obtain for Ireland a reasonable, just, and adequate proportiOn of Members in the United Parliament. sth. To establish in Ireland the principle which pactically exists in England and Scotland, namely, that the majority of the inhabitants should not be called upon to contribute in any way to the temporalities of the Church of the minority ; and in particular, that the rent charge and Ministers' money, established in Ireland in lieu of tithes, and other temporali_ ties of the Established Church, should be disappropriated from the Clergy of the Church of the minority of Ireland, and that the entire thereof, or so much thereof as may be found just and reasonable, to leave unextinguished as a charge up on the several parishes, should be appropriated to purposes of education or charity, or to other purposes of general utility, so that, however, no part of such rent-charge, Ministers' money or other temporalities should be capable of being allo cated to the Clergy of any portion of the Irish people, whether those of a majority or a minority of the inhabitants of Ireland. But, nevertheless, that the Clergy of the Established Church having vested and existing interests, and who would, by such arrangement, be deprived of their incomes, be provided for by the State in such a manner as may be reasonable and just to all parts of the empire. 6th. That no individual member of the Precursor Society is pledged to any particular mode of extinguishing or appro priating the rent charge, Ministers' money, or other Church temporalities, save to this, that it shall not be applied to the Use of any particular religious sect or persuasion. To this principle we hold ourselves strictly pledged. 7th. These arc the great objects of the Precursor Society ; they are included in the phrase 4. JUSTICE TO IRELAND," and, whilst they mean to imply nothing more than an equality with England and Scotland in the benefits of the reform, they ne cessarily include the working out of that equality by equal ame liorations and improvements .in all divisions of the United Kingdom. Bth. The Precursor Society, therefore, deem it most es sential that the mode of voting BY BALLOT should be esta blished throughout the United Kingdom, that being the only mode by which the voters can safely, and without temptation to crime, exercise the Elective Franchise. To this amelioration the Precursor Society attaches the ut most importance, and they think it their duty to declare that no man can be fit to represent any portion of the Irish people who shall not unequivocally pledge himself to support in Par liament a law for establishing the mode of voting by Ballot. 9th. The ninth object is the EXTENSION of the SUFFRAGE in all parts of the empire—this is included in the purposes already expressed. We do not pledge ourselves to any par ticular mode of extension, but we do pledge ourselves to sup port every safe, prudent, and practicable extension of the Elective Franchise. 10th. The Precursor Society will also co-operate with the Reformers in obtaining a shortening of the duration of Parlia ment so as not to exceed a duration of three years. Such are the objects of the Precursor Society. In these objects men of all religious persuasions, and of all parties and shades of Liberal opinion, can concur. Having laid down these clear principles—principles capable of comprehending all the Reformers of Ireland, of every grade of Liberal opinion and of every religious denomination—we declare that the constitution and mode of proceeding of the Precursor Society in practical details shall be as follows :—. First—Every individual who has been a member of the late Precursor Society shall, without payment of any further sum of money, or other form, be enrolled as a member of this Pre cursor Society. Second—The business of the Precursor Society shall be conducted by a General Committee, and by as many Sub- Committees as may be necessary. Third—Every member of the Precursor Society who shall have paid a., either for himself, or to enrol twenty Precursors, shall be a member of the General Committee. Fourth—Wherever there are 200 Precursors in any parish, they shall be at liberty to send an address to the Secretary, and to name a Weekly Newspaper, which shall accordingly be transmitted to that address, and an additional address and Newspaper for every 200 additional Precursors. Fifth—That the modes of proceeding at public meetings, and in committee, shall be those adopted by the late General Association, as if we had repeated the same. Sixth—That it will be the duty of 'he Precursor Society in every parish, to procure petitions to Parliament for " Justice to Ireland,"and especially to point out in such petitions the imminent danger that exists of the almost total extinction of the elective franchise in Ireland, unless the law of elections shall be amended. I Seventh—Thai the Precursors shall also prepare petitions in every Parish, for a complete and satisfactory Corporate Reform, and for including Dublin injthe same Act with London. Eigth—That the Precursors do also prepare petitions to carry out all the principles of religious equality, by either ex tinguishing in part, and appropriating the residue, or for ap. propriating the entire of the rent-charge for education, charity, or other purposes of public utility. Ninth—That the Precursors in each Parish, be also in. structed to furnish accurate details of the state of the franchise in each Parish ; and to assist in keeping up and extending the Registry. The Roll of the Precursor Society shall be kept as follows First.—There shall be formed a Roll or Register of all those, without any distinction of party, sect, or persuasion, who shall think fit to enrol themselves Members of the Precursor Society. SecOnd.—That such Register shall be kept by the Secre tary in Dublin, and that a sum of not less than One Shilling be paid upon each name enrolled, to be applied to the current expenses of the Society. Third.—That Mr. T. M. Ray be appointed Secretary, and that Ignatius Callaghan, Laurence Finn, and James Martin of the Nurth Wall, Esqrs., be appointed Treasurers. Fourth.—That the enrolment shall be extended all over Ireland, and the names and subscriptions transmitted to Dublin. Fifth.—That the preparing and presentation of addresses to her Majesty he also confided to the Precursors of each locality. Sixth.—That the preparations of petitions for the redress of other practical grievances be confided to the Precursors in each parish in Ireland. Seenth,—That we shall gladly receive and admit to enrol. ment all such friends to Ireland as, being resident out of Ire land, may desire to join our Society. Eighth.—That clergymen of all persuasions be admitted without payment of any subscription on being proposed by any one member. In conclusion, it is declared that the sole aim and end of the Precursor Society is to obtain JUSTICE FOR IRELAND from the Imperial Parliament. The new constitution was unanimously adopted. The total amount of rent received during the week was announced to be 2491. 19s. The Association adjourned to Thursday, Dec. 27. THE STANDARD NOVELS.—Mr. Bentley has just added to the " Standard Novels" Miss Edgeworth's " Helen," and few of its volumes will reflect more honour to the collection. Miss Edgeworth's work, apart froth their literary merits, great variety of subject, and familiarity with the soundest principles of society, are especially valua ble, or rather invaluable, as severe b ut most winning les sons to her own sex. They are not to be taken up with indifference, or laid aside unprofitably, but must ever leave behind them impressions delightful and influences most sa lutary, tending to the cultivation of all that is delicate and elevated in the sex. A British publisher could not confer a much great favour on his countrywomen than by placing within their power, by a cheap price, elegant editions of each and all the novels of this most excellent authoress. Captain Marryat's " Midshipman Easy" and Maxwell's Adventures of Captain Blake," which were the preceding volumes of the " Standard Novels," are also well deserving of that honour, being both masterly productions in their way. Mr. Bentley noy very speedily add to this catalogue " Zen o bi a , or, L etters fr om P a l m y ra ," which re cently publi s h e d, an d w hich, both in lassical work o f th e subject and treatment, ment , deserves t o b e cons id e red the most c novel kind th a t h a s for some years issued from the press on either side of the Atlantic. At the ordinary meeting of the Westminster Medi cal Society, held on Saturday evening, Dr. Ch owne i ns the chair, some observat io ns having been ma d e b y t h e Se cretary on the use of op ium in certain disorders of th e nerv ous s:, , stem, particularly insanity and delirium tremen s , an interesting discussion ensued, In which Dr. Addison; Dr. Williams, and Professor Thomson took part. It ap peared that, in recent cases of these disorders, doses of morphia, which is the active principle of opium, and a most deleterious poison, had been administered to the enormous extent of thirty grains ; the usual dose being from one to two grains. It might he alleged that the article was adul terated ; but it was procured from an eminent chemist, upon whom the strictest reliance could be placed. With reference to the practice of eating opium, some statistical facts were adduced which showed that the average duration of life was excessively and unnaturally short among those with whom that practice was habitual. The Catholic clergyman at Cologne, Mr. Beckers, whose arrest, in consequence of a political sermon, was lately announced, has been sentenced by the Prussian Government to five ye ars ' i m p r isonment and ten years' sure veillance of the police, TALBOT HOTEL, STOURBRIDGE. • A WKEFIELD and RICHMOND, o f t h e a b ove ESTABLISHMENT (as also of the LION HOTEL, KIDDERMINSTER,) beg leave to return the Public their most sincere and grateful thanks for the very extensive support they have Yeeeired during the last two years.

Monsieur 111 A LLAN, and Son, Surgeon Dentists, 32, GREAT RUSSET L.

They have also discovered a NEW COMPOSI TION for ARTIFICIAL TEETH. A peculiar advantage attending Teeth made from this SUBSTANCE is ' that they are totally imper vious to acids. ARTIFICIAL TEETH have hitherto been found ob jectionable by INVALIDS taking MEDICINES which have a tendency to DISCOLOUR them, and by persons of bilious habits. Messrs.

No WI ICES or LIGA 1 GRES are used, and they MATCH the ORIGINAL TEETH in point of Shape and Colour. GUARANTEED for MASTICATION and AR TICU LATION.
